That's Thanksgiving in Croatian! Not that they celebrate it--I'm sure you all know it's an American holiday. But we Rotary students decided to celebrate, so we organized a dinner and crammed all our host families, our Croatian teacher and one of the Rotary councilors (25 people) into the Tuškan family's living room...well, some of us were eating in the entryway, and I had to climb over a small desk to get out... It was lots of fun, though. We had a cool mix of Croatian and American dishes--pumpkin strudel, anyone? Of course, we weren't terribly well organized in terms of who was making what and how much, so we ended up with enough food to feed about 4 times as many people...
Kelsey and I were making decorations during school, and our hand turkeys caused quite an uproar. Our classmates really couldn't understand why we would trace our hand and call it a turkey, and honestly, I don't really blame them. Sure, they could use a bit more imagination, but where did we come up with that idea anyway? And yet, every kid in the US does it.
